Maddy summaryThis is a ceremonial resolution (not a policy bill) commending Retired Master Sergeant Louis C. Graziano for his WWII service. It recognizes his role as the last surviving WWII veteran to witness Germany's surrender, his D-Day landing on Omaha Beach, participation in the Battle of the Bulge, and service in Reims where he escorted German delegates after the surrender. The resolution formally honors him on his 102nd birthday, acknowledges his receipt of the French Legion Medal of Honor, and directs the House Clerk to send him a copy of the resolution. No policy changes or financial provisions are included - this is purely a symbolic tribute.
